Bulgarian striker Georgi Minchev scored his fifth goal since the start of the season in Turkey's Trendyol 1 -a Liga (the second level of football in the country), scoring the first goal for his team Yumraniespor, which ended 2:2 as a guest of Pendikspor in the first match of the 13th round, handed BTA.
Both teams are from districts of Istanbul, and the small stadium of Pendik was not completely filled.
The hosts led 2-0 by the end of the first half after opening through Samet in the 3rd minute, who scored with a shot to the body of the visitors' Topaloglu. Brazilian defender Veliton doubled the score in the first minute of stoppage time of the first half.
After the break, the red and whites from Yumranie were totally dominant and reached the draw. The goals were scored by Georgi Minchev from a penalty in the 67th minute and Barash Ekincier in the 82nd minute. Five minutes before Yumraniespor's first goal, the hosts wanted a penalty, but the referee did not react in any way.
In the 66th minute, the visitors came to a penalty awarded for a foul against Benny, and the Bulgarian striker, who stayed on the field for the whole match, did not make a mistake. The situation was previously reviewed using the video replay system (VAR) and confirmed.
Minchev was involved in the second goal as well, after picking up an attack, kept the ball and passed to the right, where the cross came from to make it 2:2.
After this result, both teams have 18 points and are ranked 10th (Yumraniepor) and 11th (Pendikspor).
Two of the three Bulgarians played for Poland's Słonsk (Wrocław) – Alex Petkov completed 90 minutes and Sylvester Jasper, who came on after the break when visiting Jagiellonia (Bialystok) in the 16th round of the Polish Ekstraklasa, and the match ended 2:2, reported BTA. Simeon Petrov remained an unused reserve on the team's bench.
The efforts of the entire team of Shlionsk and the two Bulgarians, however, only reached a draw, which was secured by the 20-year-old reserve Jakub Jezerski in the 88th minute, only 10 after appearing on the field. The match pitted last season's top two teams against each other, with the Jagiellonian champions again doing well this year, unlike the visitors from the mining district. Sylvester Jasper, who appeared on the field in the 69th minute, played an active role in the equalizing goal for Shlionsk.
After the visitors had a goal disallowed for offside in the 14th minute, they found the net just five later. A very beautiful goal was realized by the left winger Arnau Ortiz, who with his right foot sent the ball hopelessly into the top corner. However, in the 38th minute, the home team equalized through the Frenchman Mohamed Diaby, who scored through Alex Petkov's crossbar. The ball was accurately shot to the left post on the ground and without a chance for the goalkeeper Rafal Leszczynski.
The start of the second half was for the visitors, who had a second goal disallowed, but then Jagiellonia stepped up to score a second. It was realized by the captain of the team Jesus Imas, who received a pass on the 10th meter and had no problems signing.
In the 88th minute, Jasper had a hand in the second goal for his team, after he beat a defender and shot from a small angle. The goalkeeper of Jagiellonia did not expect it and shot clumsily, but with the resulting ricochet, the ball fell on Jezerski's head, who sent it into the goal from three meters.
With this point, Slionsk's fortunes do not change much and they remain in last 18th place with 10 points, 5 from the first above the relegation line Stahl (Mielec). Last year's champions from Bialystok are now in 2nd place with 33 points, 1 behind leaders Lech (Poznan) and 2 ahead of Rakuw (Czestochowa).
